Pros

Can balance private and work life pretty well. Some nice people do work here.

Cons

Have to learn by trial and error if get a promotion have to figure out how to job well and figure out how to do it. You either are good or you are not and if not told you have to correct it but not how to. No training. Had to figure out there was training that was required by signing in and finding it out for myself.

Pros

Work with schedule, not hard but can be physically demanding. Full time get good benefits.

Cons

Promoting is difficult. Position needs to be available and if you are good at your position you'll probably be there forever. Customers can be rude.
